Some background information:
Since a few years I am helping out with equipment, training and post production for a film making workshop (called 'Film beTEILigt from beteiligung.st) for adolescent. Since 2009 there had been held 9 workshops with the goal to show young people the process of film making and give them a creative vent, participation, and say. The participants have to choose their own topic, the only specification is that it has to be somehow sociopolitically relevant. This years topic was diversity.
From the time consuming development of ideas, up to the first rough cut of the short film, they had two intense weeks only. All tasks, starting with collaborative script writing, casting, location scouting, storyboarding, visual concept and scheduling was done by the participants with the supporting help of director Jakob M. Erwa. Shooting location was Graz, Austria (EU). On set participants took their role as DP, AC, boom operator, gaffer, makeup, wardrobe, props, script supervisor, ADs, and so on.
Principal photography was done during two days in May 2017.
Info (German)
This year was the first time I was able to lend them my fully rigged URSA Mini 4.6k as the main camera, audio equipment, lots of lights and grip. On a side note: the making-of was shot on a RED Scarlet Mysterium-X, which we soon called "The Hairdryer".
My main task on set was to teach the participants how to use all the tech stuff and supervise camera and light departments. I was amazed how careful the kids used the equipment and was especially happy with the camera team Matteo and Zoe, who both had quite some natural talent in camera framing, movement and focus pulling. Also having seasoned director Jakob M. Erwa directing was a great experience because he's a very focused and pleasant fellow to work with on set and in post production. And the production team from beteiligung.st did was just awesome in getting everything onto track and done.
After the final cut it was my task to do the color correction, grading and create the DCP for September premiere at the local cinema. I will later post some before/after shots from the grading process if people are interested in seeing this.
The short film will now go the festival route, too.
